How Bail Works

What a bail bondsman may consider before posting bond....
A licensed bail bondsman will instruct the defendant of the co-signer to make sure the defendant appears at all scheduled court hearings and trials - to avoid forfeiture.
After an arrest, he or she may contact a bondsman or have a relative or friend to contact a bail bondsman.
It is of interest for the bondsman to ask pertinent information: defendant's name, the exact charges against the defendant, locality of the arrest, how much the bond is, and which jail the defendant is being held.
A licensed bail bondsman will ask how the bail bond (premium) payment will be met. The fee for posting bail for a defendant, ranges from 10% to 15%. Payment plans are available; however work history, credit history, will be asked.
